The vainness of self vindication
It doesnt matter who you are – to some degree, you care about what others think of you… self vindication is a vicious cycle. Why do we care so much about what others think?!? It can consume us and become a huge distraction in our relationship with God. Consider the words of St. Augustine..

inside the heart of a lead worshiper
I am honored to work with the people who have bought into the vision of East Coast Church. I’m not in any way honoring one in particular above the others, I just wanted to share with you a little of his heart. He will be leading us to God’s throne in worship. He has led [...]
